Someone worth finding.
The daily puzzle brings us together. The weekly shelter spotlight is a chance to help a real cat or dog be seen.
A real pet. A chance to be seen.
Meet cats and dogs looking for homes at Austin Pets Alive! Each week we spotlight a real shelter pet, with a link to their official listing.

The shelter’s website has the latest photos and availability.
A little good news
Happy updates confirmed by the shelter.
There’s more than one way to help
Meet a pet
Read the official listing, then ask the shelter about the pet’s needs and whether your home would be a good match.
Offer a temporary home
Fostering may be a way to help when adoption isn’t right for you. The shelter can explain what each pet needs and what support is available.
Support a shelter
Give directly to Austin Pets Alive! or a rescue you care about. The shelter receives your donation through its own website.
Your next friend may be closer to home
Our first spotlight is in Austin, Texas. Wherever you live, you can look for an animal or organization near you—and sharing a local pet’s official profile helps them be seen, too.
A spotlight, with care
Catchmemeow is an independent project, not an adoption agency or an official partner of Austin Pets Alive! Listings link to the shelter, which handles inquiries and confirms availability. We only celebrate an adoption when there is a confirmed update; a missing listing alone doesn’t tell us what happened.
